    We are offering a three-year position for a

    PhD student (m/f/d) in Computational and Theoretical Chemistry for application for DAAD Scholarship

    at the Department of Bioorganic Chemistry within the research group “Computational Chemistry”.

    We are looking for a creative, curious, team-minded and enthusiastic candidate to join our team to contribute to a project which will focus on the application of QM/MM and Moleular dynamics simulation methods for understand and design of enzymes. The work will be performed in close collaboration with experimental collaborators, who will work on enzymology and protein engineering.

    The successful candidate must hold a Diploma or Master's degree in computational (bio)chemistry or biophysics, or a closely related field and is supposed to have a solid command of English communications skills. Applicants should have a strong background in one of the following fields: programming language (Python, C/C++), QM, molecular dynamics or QM/MM methods, computational biochemistry or biophysics. Prior experience with protein engineering would be advantageous but not a prerequisite.

    The IPB is an international research institute located on the Weinberg-Campus of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and provides state-of-the-art facilities for research in plant biochemistry/proteomics, cell biology/imaging, and natural products chemistry/metabolomics. The Department of Bioorganic Chemistry offers a multinational, interdisciplinary, and highly stimulating scientific environment. Information about the research group and the IPB can be found on the homepage: www. ipb-halle.de.

    You will have the possibility to develop yourself in a young group and motivating group atmosphere with many new techniques in an inspiring research environment and outstanding equipment/facilities at the Leibniz-Institute.

    Please, contact Dr. Mehdi D. Davari ([email protected]; Phone: 0049 (0) 345 5582 1360) for additional information.

    Applications must include a cover letter describing research accomplishments and interests, a CV plus publication list, and contact details of 2 referees. Please send your complete application documents in one pdf file including the Subject "PhD Computational Chemistry-DAAD Scholarship" exclusively by email to [email protected].

    Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
